Don Barnes,

Get a copy of FAA AC65-9A, "Airframe and Powerplants" Mechanics General
Handbook.  In Chapter 5, on page 111 (in my copy) there is a detailed
description of how to flare tubing, with drawings.  I did not have this
manual when I made my tubing, just a few hand-me-down bits of advice.  I
made a couple of my flares too small and on two occasions a tube pulled out
of the AN fitting, causing loss of pressure and the wheels coming down to
stay.
